Description

Hoover replies to "concern about communism," enclosing material with "suggestions all of us can use in combating this evil menace"

TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, Federal Bureau of Investigation letterhead, March 31, 1966. Letter to Mrs. John W. Sotack, in part: "You may wish to know I have no thought of retiring and it is my desire to remain in my present capacity as long as I can be of service to our Nation. While I will not be able to choose my successor, I believe in the policy of promoting men from within the service, and I can assure you there are several men within the ranks of the FBI who are fully qualified to direct its operations. Your concern about communism is understandable, and I am enclosing some material which contains suggestions all of us can use in combating this evil menace. Perhaps you may also wish to refer to my books, 'Masters of Deceit' and 'A Study of Communism,' These were written to help readers gain an insight into the strategy and tactics of communists, both in this country and abroad." In fine condition. Accompanied by two articles by Hoover on communism, a press release of an address on the subject, and the original mailing envelope.
